Hadith.1715 - It is narrated from Al-Fadl ibn Abi Qurrah Al-Samandi that he said: Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said to me: "Do you know who the miser is?" I said: "The miser is the stingy person." He replied: "Miserliness (shuhh) is more severe than stinginess (bukhl). A stingy person withholds what is in his hand, but a miser is protective over what is in the hands of others and also over what is in his own hand. He does not see anything in the possession of others except that he wishes it were his, whether by lawful or unlawful means. Moreover, he is not content with what Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, has provided him."

Hadith.1717 - The Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "If Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, has no need for a servant, He tests him with miserliness."

Hadith.1718 - The Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) heard a man saying, "The miser is more excusable than the oppressor." He said to him: "You have lied. Indeed, the oppressor may repent, seek forgiveness, and restore the injustice to its rightful owners. But the miser, when he becomes miserly, withholds zakat, charity, maintaining family ties, hospitality to guests, spending in the way of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, and other acts of goodness. It is forbidden for a miser to enter Paradise."
